The ability to change features, prices, and availability of things you’ve already paid for is a powerful temptation to corporations.

        If you purchase a ticket for the circus and don’t attend on the evening of your booking, the seller is not entitled to refund your purchase. The ticket will specify the terms of sale, which you agree to when making the purchase.

        Without details of the hypothetical scenario made here, we cannot know if that’s the case. If the ticket purchaser was unable to see the circus because their flight home was delayed, the circus has no obligation to refund them. If attendance of “Circus 2” is offered to the purchaser due to the cancellation of “Circus 1” under the conditions of the original ticket purchase, then it’s unlikely to be an unfair contact.

        There are all kinds of details missing here that we can freely speculate about.
